Wow! Now i got something to work with here. I've tried out Jak 3 now, i don't like it that much, annoying camera angles and all the other things i dislike with 3D platformers, but still, i continue to play it so i guess i like it a litte bit :). Even thou it's not very complex i find the problem to be a lack of simplicity, and i guess that is my problem with many of the modern games. Nothing can beat Super Mario World, no intro, no cutscenes(almost), no advanced button-combinations, you just sit down and play. I have yet to find such a game for the current-gen consoles :).

Anyway, i think i'll play jak 3 some more, and see where it takes me. I've got so many tips now. I guess i'll try my hands at God of War, MGS and maybe give Resident Evil 4 a try, although, i really dislike horror games but anyone can change :).

Resi 4 is completely different to the others. I played the GC remake of Resident Evil and I found it too scary for my liking, so like you I wasn't going to buy the 4th one. But Resi 4's got much more of an emphasis on action, so you don't really have to be a horror game fan - in fact, I didn't think the game was scary at all, except for

Code:

those wierd Regenerator things.

So if you don't mind the fact you'll go round shooting a lot of things and getting killed, then Resi 4 would be ok for you, Martin.

Yeah, give RE4 a try anyway. It can spook you, but I'm a pussy who can't deal with horror games, and outside of the aforementioned spoiler bit (hint: a variation of them was shown in the commercials), I was able to deal with the game just fine for the most part.

I wouldn't call Resident Evil 4 a horror game - it's much, much more of an action game. The only scares it will give you are a few "things jumping through windows" moments. I mean, it's not even close to stuff like Silent Hill or Fatal Frame / Project Zero when it comes to the horror bit.

Thanks alot for all the tips :) I think i've found out what my problem really is. I dislike "dark" games. I never really cared about graphics, but it seems that now i do. Most PS2 games are played out in a kind of "dark" setting. I can't explain why i dont like it, i just don't.So it's not so much that i get to scared when it comes to horror games, it is just that they in general are extremely dark. I like bright and shiny colors, like in GTA for example, or in my newfound favourite genre, sport-games.I tried out a couple of those 3d platformers recommended (jak, ratchet) and i had the same problem there. I will give Okami a try when i get my hands on it, it seems to be very special in its graphical style and i hope i will like it.

Colorful maybe, but still dark... i don't really know how to explain it. Well of course the ratchet/jak games are not as dark as many other games, but still, the whole setting feels... indoors with only a few lightsources.

Maybe it is that new 3D games use lightsources while older games just had everything illuminated.

I know it's old, I know it got massively overlooked at the time, and I know I'm massively biased, but Transformers was a damn good 3D Action/Shooter. Graphics are still some of the best I've seen squeezed out of the PS2, they use all the voice actors from the cartoons and it has the greatest sound effect known to mankind when the robots transform!
